Bangalore/Mumbai: The Indian Institute of Management-Indore has launched a five-year integrated post-graduate programme in management � a three-year degree programme followed by masters. The first batch scheduled this year will have 120 students.
The five-year integrates residential programme allows students to drop out after the degree course, in three course. The course is in keeping in mind the mix of essential skill subjects � maths and statistics, history, literature and political science, biological sciences, languages, finance and accounting, economics and information technology. Apart from the regular classroom lectures, IIM-I has a component on international exposure and an internship at a social organization.
N Ravichandran, IIM-Indore director said that IIM-I wants to have a dominating presence, both in terms of size and impact, in all segments of management education, including the newly introduced undergraduate-programme. He further added that four different streams have been identified by them, which includes top-end research programmes, executive education programme, the flagship post-graduate programme and an integrated PGP, which will have the time and opportunity to shape young minds towards management education.
The selection for this undergraduate programme will be based on an aptitude and interview and the minimum eligibility to seat for the interview is 60% in Class XII. The details regarding the eligibility criteria will be revealed by the IIM-I authority in a few days. The tuition fee for the first three years will be Rs 3 lakh per annum and for the next two years it will be Rs 5 lakh a year.
Ravichandran said that he don't think that the new programme will dilute the brand value of IIMs, particularly IIM-Indore. He perhaps thinks that it will strengthen it. He finally concluded by saying that they won't compromise on quality of any of their programmes.
